- New Updates to the game. v1.0.0.24 is live - 28 May 2024
Hi All, Thank you for your continuous support for Brocula. The game is improving every day, and I'm excited to share some new updates that I've added for the first time with myself in mind. Let's dive into these changes. Difficulty Level While Brocula has many cozy elements, I wanted to introduce some challenges. Therefore, I'm adding difficulty levels to the settings. Having played this game for a few years, I can quickly make coffee items and often find myself waiting for 15-30 seconds at the coffee shop, as well as in the garage and restaurant. The new difficulty levels address this wait time. By default, the difficulty level is set to EASY, so if you're enjoying the current settings, nothing will change for you. However, if you'd like a more challenging experience: MEDIUM: Customer wait time decreases by 1/3, and the number of customers doubles. HARD: Customer wait time decreases by…

This patch is primarily to fix some minor issues and add 1-2 new features. Here is the detailed list of things are in this new patch/version of the game: Fixed a bug where in all stores where when you press up or down more times than there are items, the other items all move to the right. Increased the space between the fence and the constructed items outside the castle. Fixed a bug where you have to go out of the collider zone to collect mud again. Items now have a white outline to tell the player what is selected for better visual indication You can now delete a placed object. Fixed zero items in player inventory. Adding Discord QR code for easy access to the community Fixed a bug in the trunk where last item from player inventory would…
- Brocula v1.0.0.20 is Live and here are the patch notes - 13 May 2024
Hi All, thank you for all the feedback in making the game better. Here are some of the things that are going out in this patch. - Fixed a bug with bus stop where if player tries to from Mines to Grey’s farm, going back to the city breaks. - Reduced cooking timing of items in the restaurant by 100%. That means all items cook twice as fast from the last build. - Updated colliders in restaurant where players can open both fridge and vegetable container at the same time. - Updated timing for Garage customers. They now wait twice the original time making it easier for players to get 5 star rating. - Adding a 10 second timer to sleeping mechanics which will force the player out incase it falls into infinite sleep issue. Note: infinite sleep code was fully removed in the past patch, so I believe this should fully fix it (T _ T) Thank you once again for being patient while I fix these bugs. Pra…

- Brocula v1.0.0.17 is live and here are the patch notes - 10 May 2024
Woah , so many negative reviews. I wont lie that It does sting a little bit, but tbh it was totally my fault for not testing the game thoroughly. And I am gonna make up for it. I have been listening to your feedback for past few days and been making changes accordingly. I am updating the game with following changes as per the feedback. - - More time in a Day. Day-Night cycle has been changed from 10 min cycle to 15 min cycle. - NPCs now reach their day destination faster, especially when the player is asleep. - Fixed an issue where NPC don’t even get out of their homes if save time is close to start of the day. - Ability to get out of soft locks.

- Sink your teeth into capitalism after a 500-year slumber in Brocula out now - 9 May 2024
What if you took a bit of Stardew Valley but you're a Vampire rudely awoken from a deep 500 year nap and now you have to deal with capitalism? That's your problem in Brocula.

- Get Ready for Brocula: A Quick Starter Guide! - 8 May 2024
Less than 24 hours until Brocula launches! Here's a quick guide to get you started: Spend your first few hours working at the garage or coffee shop to earn red diamonds (experience points) and money. Crafting a stone axe is cheaper than buying one, so try crafting it if you can. Make sure to talk to NPCs frequently. You can check their availability days in the Pause Menu. Unlocking memories is crucial for crafting items that may not be readily available. Utilize the bus as a convenient means of transportation and find other areas Transferring an item to trunk in the castle might be better than discarding it. I will also be on discord, to help you with your questions and queries. Looking forward to you all enjoying the game. Prateek / Destroyer Doggo
- Version 1.0.0.13 is Live - 8 May 2024
Hi Everyone, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to each and every one of you who has played the game over the past two days. Your support and feedback mean the world to me. I've been carefully listening to your reports of bugs and requests for new features, and I'm excited to share some of the changes that have been implemented in version 1.0.0.13: - Fixed an issue where proper keys couldn't be used when next to the Coffin - Added a scroll bar to the inventory for easier navigation - Resolved missing translations for 2 NPCs - Fixed the issue of the Doctor getting stuck outside of the Clinic - Investigated reports of players being unable to exit the garage when their shift ends (I'm still unable to replicate this, so if anyone could confirm whether this issue persists, it would be greatly appreciated) Once again, thank you all for your patience and understanding. I hope these impro…
- Wrapping Up the Farming Festival: A Reflection and Gratitude - 6 May 2024
As the Farming Festival on Steam draws to a close today, I wanted to take a moment to extend my heartfelt thanks to each and every one of you who took the time to explore the Brocula demo during this special event. Whether you played on Steam or Xbox, your support and enthusiasm mean the world to me. The past few days have been nothing short of exhilarating. As I eagerly anticipate the launch of a game that has been four years in the making, I can't help but feel a mix of excitement and anxiety. One question that weighs heavily on my mind is the possibility of players encountering bugs that may impact their experience. Despite rigorous testing – including seven full playthroughs – the thought of a bug slipping through the cracks and detracting from your enjoyment is a source of concern for me. If you do come across any bugs, please accept my sincerest apologies. Rest assured, I am commi…

I'll admit, I'm not the best at social media marketing. That's where you come in.

Share it with your friends, colleagues, family members, and anyone else who might enjoy it. From the bottom of my heart, I want to express my sincere gratitude for all the love and support you've shown. Thank you. Warm regards, Prateek / Destroyer Doggo

- Final_final_(r)elease_final.game - 13 April 2024
Hi All Thank you so much for being patient while I had that PC mishap last month. I have been extremely busy fixing bugs and updating code for the release. And today is a good day to announce a few things. Destroyer Doggo at ID@Xbox Digital Sessions On March 26, 2024, I (Prateek Jadhwani) had an opportunity to talk about Brocula at the ID@Xbox Digital Sessions organised by XBox. This event was hosted by Jun Shen Chia, from the Xbox Global Expansion Team to show their support for independent developers and their upcoming games who are a part of ID@Xbox program. And because of this event, there were also a lot of news articles. IGN India was kind enough to give their article about this event along with the official XBox Wire article. Demo Updates After months of delay, and feedback, I have now updated the demo to version 1.5.0.x. There are a few changes in this update. One of the major up…
- Dev Updates March 2024 - 19 March 2024
Hi All, Hope you all are having a wonderful march. Just wanted to write this post to let folks know about this months updates on the game. So, here it goes. Broken Laptop Few weeks ago I had a power surge at my place which made my laptop stop working. I had to order a cable for its component which is not available in India to get it repaired. I received the cable yesterday, but that was not the correct one. International shipping returns are more expensive than the actual product, so I ended up buying a new laptop. I have been setting up this new laptop all day long today for dev work. I should be be able to start working on XBox, Windows and Steam Deck builds again this week. Once I have everything setup, I will update the release date on the store page. Performance Updates I have been using my M1 mac Air for mac development. And there have been some good performance improvements in th…
